"If Sam Peckinpah were alive, he could do justice to "Blood Meridian"..."
i am not very familiar with Peckinpah (at least by name.) Tough book to make a movie out of, but I would LOVE to see an attempt! the Judge is one of the greatest alltime literary villains!!
agree with your feeling regarding the philosophical undercurrents being a bit absent from No Country. Would have been tough for the film makers. Pretty much the trouble with ANY of McCarthy's books. But they did a decent job with the rest of it. Absolutely loved the opening monologue byJones - great opening for a film.

Re: hey Dire |
You might know his Westerns ,"The Wild Bunch", "Pat Garrett, & Billy the Kid" , were the ones I was thinking about . But even Sam Peckinpah might have winced at some of the INTENSE stuff in Blood Meridian . And yes I would love to see a great director try it .

Re: hey Dire |
maybe get Tarantino to do a somewhat "quirky" version and not worry about the NC-17 rating it must garner to really work like the novel.
